Discuss the impact of having the capacitor on the output voltage and the effect of additional load on the ripple voltage.Describe the procedure in this lab to arrive at the final design of both the hardware portion and the software portion to achieve the design objectives?.What is the purpose of having a half-wave rectifier in the circuit?.Repeat steps 3 and 4 with a 100uF capacitor if you notice any variations in the output.Measure the output voltage VLOAD, across the load RL using the oscilloscope. Using the function generator from NI ELVISmx Instrument Launcher, provide the input voltage VSEC to the circuit.

Use channel AO0 on the NI myDAQ Instrument Device to provide the input (VSEC) and channel AI0 to measure the output voltage(VLOAD).Using the jumper wires, screw driver and screw terminal connector, connect the board to NI MyDAQ Instrument Device to analyze the circuit.Using the voltage VSEC obtained from the simulation, build the circuit in Figure 1 on the breadboard with VSEC as an input, which connects to the diode and load resistor RL in series.Tabulate all data gathered and compare the results with and without the filter capacitor. Measure the dc load voltage, VLOAD, and the peak-to-peak ripple voltage, VRIPPLE, of the output.Connect a 100 μF capacitor (C1) with a tolerance of 20% in parallel with the load resistor (RL). The output isn’t very useful as a dc source because of the variations in the output waveform.Connect the Tektronix oscilloscope so that channel 1 is across the transformer and channel 2 is across the load resistor (RL).Be sure to set the tolerance of the resistor to 20%. Use a function generator to provide the AC input of Vacand use a center tapped transformer to obtain VSEC.
